Review: Block Tech US101-0945 Crystal Blocks Purple Agate

This line had been around for a couple of months, at the time of the selection for the new Ideas set. Which makes that a really interesting choice.  There are a lot of Translucent parts in these sets so they should be at least somewhat useful a source of accent pieces.


Box.  MSRP was $3.25
, for a $0.04 Price per Piece.

Instructions.











Parts 1.  Plate, Transparent Plates, Transparent 2x1x1.6 Bricks w/Studs on
Side, 2x1x1.6 Bricks w/Studs on Side, Studless Slopes, 1x4 Brick w/Studs
on Side, Slopes, Corner Slopes, Transparent Corner Slopes, Corner Tile
w/Cutout, Studless Slopes w/Cutout, Transparent Studless Slope w/Cutout,
Transparent Headlight Brick, Slope w/Cutout, and Transparent Studless Slopes.








Parts 2.  Plates, Slopes, Corner Bricks, Transparent Slope, Transparent
 Plates, Slopes w/Cutout, Transparent Tiles, Transparent Corner Plates,
 Studless Slopes, Transparent Cheese Slopes, Cheese Slopes, Transparent
 Pyramid Tile, Transparent Bricks w/Studs on Side, and a Brick.


Build.  Station and 1 Hit piece of Cover.

The Questions:
Can you build something -- a frame, station, or starship -- right away?  Yes.  (+5)
Is it below, at, or above the golden ratio?  Below.  (+5)  
(The Golden Ratio is $0.10 per part.)
If you can't build a frame right away, or choose not to, does it have parts you should be able to put into use right away?  Yes.  (+5)
Does it have more than a handful of immediately useful parts?  Yes.  (+5)
Score: +20 (A+).  I was right about this set being better for accent pieces but, I love that Translucent Purple.
